Andrea Belotti was exhilarated after scoring his first goal in the Roma jersey. ‘It was magical to hear the Curva Sud shout my name.’
Il Gallo started tonight’s 3-0 Europa Conference League victory over HJK Helsinki at the Stadio Olimpico and found the net to complete the rout after Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini strikes.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to score under the Curva Sud, feel the noise, just magical to hear them shout my name,” Belotti told DAZN and Sky Sport Italia.
“I am happy with the goal and my performance, seeing as we lost the first game against Ludogorets. This has to be motivation to keep getting stronger and doing better.
“When you have teammates like Pellegrini, Zaniolo and Dybala, it all becomes easier for a striker. They have so much technical quality on the ball and prove that every game.
“I am here at the disposal of the coach and my teammates, we have a wonderful coach who chooses based on our form and qualities. I know that I have to prove myself every day.”
